8. AI COMPANION CHAT — SPECIAL TERMS

THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE AI COMPANION CHAT FEATURE. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

8.1 AI Disclosure

The AI Companion Chat feature uses artificial intelligence (specifically, Google's Gemini large language model) to generate conversational responses in the character of your virtual pet. YOUR AI PET COMPANION IS NOT A HUMAN BEING. It is a software program that generates text responses based on computational pattern matching. It cannot form genuine emotions, relationships, intentions, beliefs, or understanding. All responses are algorithmically generated.

8.2 Not Professional Advice

THE AI COMPANION CHAT DOES NOT PROVIDE AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
  • Mental health counseling, therapy, or psychiatric care
  • Legal advice or legal representation
  • Financial, investment, or tax advice
  • Emergency services or crisis intervention
  • Educational or academic guidance
  • Nutritional or dietary advice

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, mental health crisis, or any situation requiring professional assistance, please contact the appropriate emergency services (such as 911 in the United States) or a qualified professional immediately. DO NOT RELY ON THE AI COMPANION CHAT FOR ANY EMERGENCY OR CRISIS SITUATION.

8.3 Crisis Resources

If our systems detect expressions of crisis — including references to self-harm, suicidal ideation, or imminent danger — we will provide information about professional crisis resources, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988 in the U.S.) and the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741). The AI Companion Chat is not a crisis service and is not monitored by humans in real time.

8.4 Emotional Attachment Disclaimer

The AI Companion Chat is designed as an entertainment feature that simulates a companion relationship with a virtual pet character. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Any sense of emotional connection, attachment, or relationship with the AI character is simulated and not reciprocal
  • The AI character does not possess consciousness, feelings, awareness, or genuine concern for your well-being
  • We are not responsible for any emotional distress, dependency, or harm arising from your interactions with the AI Companion Chat
  • You should not use the AI Companion Chat as a replacement for human relationships, professional counseling, or social interaction
  • We encourage healthy usage patterns and provide session-length reminders for this purpose

8.5 AI Companion Memory

The AI Companion Chat may extract and retain key facts and moments from your conversations ("Memories") to personalize future interactions. You have full control over Memories, including the ability to view, delete, pause, or reset them at any time. See our Privacy Policy Section 5.6 for details on Memory controls.

8.6 Content Safety

We implement multi-layer content safety systems including input filtering, system-level constraints, and output filtering. However, no content moderation system is perfect. You acknowledge that AI-Generated Content may occasionally contain errors, biases, or content that is inappropriate despite our safety measures. If you encounter harmful content, please report it to support@valkyrjainteractive.com.

8.7 Usage Limits

The AI Companion Chat is subject to daily message limits and session-length reminders to encourage healthy usage patterns. We reserve the right to modify these limits at any time.

8.8 California SB 243 Compliance

In compliance with California Senate Bill 243 (effective January 1, 2026), we confirm that the AI Companion Chat feature is powered by artificial intelligence and is not a human being. We provide session-length reminders, maintain safety protocols for detecting and responding to expressions of crisis, and require a minimum age of 16 for access to this feature.

8.9 EU AI Act Compliance

In compliance with the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), Article 50, we inform you that the AI Companion Chat is an AI system intended to interact directly with natural persons. AI-generated responses are produced by a large language model based on computational processing, not genuine understanding, emotion, or intention.

9. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

9.1 Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Service, including the AI Companion Chat, to:

  • Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights
  • Generate, solicit, or distribute content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable
  • Attempt to elicit responses that violate our content policies, including attempts to "jailbreak," bypass, or circumvent AI safety systems
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation
  • Engage in any activity that could harm minors
  • Transmit malware, viruses, or other malicious code
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its underlying infrastructure

We reserve the right to investigate violations of these Terms and take appropriate action, including but not limited to suspending or terminating your account, removing content, and reporting illegal activity to law enforcement authorities.

10. HEALTH DATA

10.1 HealthKit Data

Stride accesses Apple HealthKit data (step count, active energy burned, exercise minutes, stand hours, and activity ring goals) with your explicit permission to power gameplay mechanics. Your health data is processed on your device and is governed by our Privacy Policy.

10.2 Not a Medical Device

STRIDE IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE, HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM, OR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS. THE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE OR CLINICAL JUDGMENT.

You should not make any health-related decisions based on information displayed in the Service. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider regarding any health concerns.

10.3 No Health Data Sharing

In compliance with Apple's HealthKit Developer Guidelines, we do not:

  • Share HealthKit data with third parties
  • Use HealthKit data for advertising or marketing
  • Sell HealthKit data under any circumstances
  • Store raw HealthKit data on our servers

Aggregated, non-identifying activity context (e.g., "active today" or "step streak") may be included in AI Companion Chat context to personalize your pet's responses. See our Privacy Policy Section 3 for full details.

10.4 Assumption of Risk

Physical activity inherently involves risk of injury. You acknowledge and agree that you engage in physical activity at your own risk and that Valkyrja Interactive is not responsible for any injury, illness, or harm arising from your physical activity, regardless of whether such activity was motivated by the Service. You should consult with a physician before beginning any exercise program.

17.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Valkyrja Interactive agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or the relationship between you and Valkyrja Interactive (collectively, "Disputes") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for claims within the jurisdictional limits of that court.

17.2 Arbitration Rules

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, which are available at adr.org. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with AAA rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

17.3 Arbitration Location

The arbitration shall take place in New Castle County, Delaware, or at another mutually agreed location. If the claim is for USD $25,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing.

17.4 Arbitration Fees

If you initiate arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the AAA consumer filing fee. We will pay all other AAA fees and arbitrator compensation. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then the allocation of fees shall be governed by AAA rules.

17.5 CLASS ACTION WAIVER

YOU AND VALKYRJA INTERACTIVE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND VALKYRJA INTERACTIVE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You and Valkyrja Interactive also agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

17.6 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@valkyrjainteractive.com within 30 days of your first use of the Service. Your notice must include your name, your account information, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, the remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

17.7 Severability of Arbitration Clause

If any portion of this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. If the class action waiver (Section 17.5) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void, and the parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts specified in Section 18.

17.8 Survival

This arbitration agreement shall survive the termination of your account and these Terms.

18. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
